CORRECTED!

Quite correct Jim. And the problem is exacerbated by the weak kneed BIG government loving congress critters that make-up the bulk of our Congress.

The recent gun grab in the Senate was not a win because of our outrage over the legislation. It was in truth a victory because a handful of them feared losing their jobs!

A few red state 'demonrats' voted against the bill not because they believed the bill to be bad. And it wasn't because they believe in the Second Amendment. It was because they wanted to keep their seats of power. This handful would have just as easily voted the other way if they had more time before the next election or if their party could offered them more cover. It was a victory, but a shifting re-election calendar could easily make it a defeat next time.

WARNING TO ME DON'T POST WHEN STILL HALF ASLEEP!

Many would have been okay with losing their seats in return for a big win against our God-given right to keep and bear arms (just as they paid for ObamaCare in the 2012 election) and a big payout from "consulting" once they were out of office. What they were not willing to do was take the plunge and lose their jobs knowing that it might be in vain with a republican House. If we lose the House, they will try again and not care if they are voted out after winning that battle, not until we start retaking lost ground whenever we are in power.
